Sang

Famous quotes containing the word sang:

    “Grandfather sang it under the gallows:
    “Hear, gentlemen, ladies, and all mankind:
    Money is good and a girl might be better,
    But good strong blows are delights to the mind.”
    There, standing on the cart,
    He sang it from his heart.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “And thus they sang their mysterious duo, sang of their nameless hope, their death-in-love, their union unending, lost forever in the embrace of night’s magic kingdom. O sweet night, everlasting night of love! Land of blessedness whose frontiers are infinite!”
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    “I sang of death but had I known
    The many deaths one must have died
    Before he came to meet his own!”
